* â€¢ : charles f adams jk â€¢ j j q adams . â€¢ - i mounted tho steps of the man sion and entered the open door as cending a single flight of stairs the same historic name met my eye up on the door in front of me i knock ed and was bidden to enter john quincy adamb jr â€¢ in the further corner sat the sole occupant of the apartment apparent ly busily occupied with correspond ence he was a young man at a venture not over thirty^five years of hge rather under the medium hight compactly and well built with a head all greatness his face was darkly browned the result as i af terward learned of a holiday yach jting excursion from which he had just returned . he was unpretend ingly attired in a suit of dark mixed english tweeds he rose from his seat as*l entered and awaited my advance i approached him saying : i called to see'mr adams i am mr adams he replied with an air of quiet dignity which mr adams have i the honor of addressing i am john quincy adams he replied in a few words i stated the object of my visit " i am sent here mr adams by the editor of the new york sun for the purpose of learning truly yodr views upon the present political sit uation of thb country and of laying them before the readers of the sun mr adams smiled and asked us to bo seated then he wrote a half dozen lines upon a sheet of foolscap laid a ruler upon the paper and tore the writing from the main sheet â€” eapidly scratching a direction upon the envelope he placed the manu script therein and,planted a postage stamp upon ihe upper corner with the palm of his hand he touched a small silver handbell and a servant entered see that this goes in the after noon'mail said he handing the ser vant the letter now shyl am at your service he continued turning to me i am never more at eaae than when in the so ity of a journal ist and always ready to express my views upon political subjects without reserve the gathering storm in mass i observe paid i that the democrats have issued a call for a state convention in massachusetts yes sir he replied the con vention ia to meet next month is not that unusually early i asked yes sir much earlier than our conventions heretofore beon hold ' why was it called so early ?'.' i asked Â« well our people thought it best to get into the canvass early and have ample time to enlighten tho on the issues involved but i suggested isn't it bad generalship to be first in opening a campaign i think so he replied j think we should have waited for the eo publicana to meet and declare them selves then w could havo taken issue with them t,hey are all by tjao ears and will have difficulty in harmonizing among themslves the elements of the domocats might broak them up with wise manago ment now wo have got to make tho^seues ourselves the issues what aro the iscuos involod in tho coming contest v simply local ho said they portain to tibo liquor question and the management of the finances on the liquor the republicans in this state are about equally divided be een prohibitionists and license men and they wjll have a lively fight in their convention over this subject if the prohibitionists get the control of the convention the license men will probably bolt and so too if the license men get the convention the prohibitionists will withdraw and make an independent ticket then you predict i said that there will be three tickets run this fall v there may be said he unless the license t men and the democrats unite what would jbe the effect of such a combination i asked pow tee demockats may sweep the state it would sweep j;he state he re plied the democrats ought have waited for this rupture in the fee publican party and then governed themselves accordingly ' what are the financial issues to which you referred ?" i asked tha republican legislature he replied have been voting away the public monies in all manner of ways they have been giving it freely to railroads and other schemes of jnter nal improvement not demanded by the public good they have literally robbed the state ' treasury and piled taxation on the people until it has become burdensome the democrat ic convention will declare itself un equivocally against the transactions and demand aa honest and economi cal administration of the affairs of the commonwealth in the interests of the whole people can you tell me mr adams in what estimation general grant is held by the republicans of new en gland ?" ' ' w ' a bull in a chi3a shop ~ â– r â€¢â– . * mr adams smiled and replied they are in a terrible fix they are mortified chagrined disguoted with their president and don't know how to help themselves they can't control him nobody can control him and he has go political ability to control himself he is out of his element in the executive ofiice and feels it state matters are a bore to him statesmen and politicians are not congenial companions to him he dislikes their conversation and shuns it thus shutting himself out from the advice and'information a president always needs he pre fers the companionship of " horse jockeys and retired merchants who have plenty of money to spend but who know nothing of public affairs and care lees . the ivepublicah party in new england is an aristocratic party and dislikes the course gen grant is pursuing but they can't help themselves and they feel the mortification all the moro keenly on that account .* how do you account for the sin gular foreign policy of his adminis tration 1 i asked mr fish's fo*reign policy the foregn policy so far as it is developed jae replied i attribute exclusively to the influence and di rection of mr fish it is popularly known i suppose that the president and 11 tho cabinet with the possible exception of the attorney general wero disposed to adopt in our rela tions both with spain and england a very dange_rous and threatening policy mr pieh was firm in his op position to such a course and i think the result will prove the wisdom of policy ho has stamped upon ihe ad ministration there was a time im mediately after their utterance when tho whole country seemed car ried away with mr sumner's views as expressed in his famous speech but calm and deliberate reflection has convinced the moot of us of the falla cy of these views mr fish had the sagacity to early detect the error of them at tho time and tho courage to face public opinion in opposing them i confess that ido not clear ly understand tho policy in detail and especially his singular attitude toward cuba but i have confidence in his emmet abilities as a statesman and teel assured tbat he will manago these delicato affairs so aa to evolve a wiso solution â€¢ do you not think i ouggested that the country sympathizes with the cubans in their struggle for free dom and tbat the influence of our government should be exerted in tbeir behalf '. territorial acquisitions i hardly think he replied that the mass of the people in thia ccun try care anything about that strug gle the people of new england are pot v concerned abont it the west cares nothing about it in new york there is considerable feeling on the supject which is carefully nurs ed and kept alive by interested par ties there are many cubans resid ing in new york and ttfat city has a large and profitable trade with cu ba hence their interest in this struggle but that interest is by no means general throughout the coun try it is true i suppose that the country would like to acquire cuba that acquisitiveness is one of the bane 3 of our people we not only would like cuba but we would like the greater portion of mexico all of canada and perhaps other contigu ous territory it may be too that we i are destined to possess all this continent and more too for all i know " bat i very much question whether so great territorial exten sion will benefit us much the south democratic how the ne gro will vote you took a run through the south last year mr adams/i re marked what was the result of your observations in that direction can the eepublican party retain the control of that section ot the cou'u jtryr "' , .."â– . by no means he replied as fast as the states have restored to them their political privileges and rights they will reassert their inde pendence of this ruling power it is all nonsense to suppose that the la bor of that section will forever sub ject itself to the control of a few ad venturers at present the negroes i are kept in a state of political excite ment tw bemi antagonism to the southern people for partisan pur poses but really the negroes care nothing about politics if left to themselves they would scarcely ever assert their political rights not that i would have them denied those rights or restrained from exercising them but it is not in their nature or disposition to care for them in the cities â€¢ they may and probably will always take an active part in party contests but the mass ot the negroes as is well known are scattered in small colonies on distant plantations and after this unnatural excitements passes away and they are left to themselves politics will be the least of their concerns except once a year when their employers will ask them to the polls to vote then of course they will vote whatever ticket their employers or overseers put into their hands so the political power in that section will very soon lapse into the hands of those who have al ways wielded it and they are now beginning to see this inevitable ten dency hence their readiness to ac cept reconstruction under the pres ent plan they know that while a pet of carpet-baggers are temporarily placed in power it is but a stepping stone to their own restoration and political supremacy the fifteenth amendment what is your opinion of the pros pects of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution ?" i asked i think he replied that it will make but little difference whether it is adopted or not it is inconsistent with the former portion of the con stitution and is therefore invalid if declared adopted when the democrat ic party comes into power it will sim ply ignore it would the supreme court pro nounce it invalid because of that in consistency ?" i asked that farce tee bupr3me court our supreme co*urt replied he is a farce it.haa no independence it is under coercion it has forfoited the rocpect duo it as a scporate and coequal branch of the government its judgments do not carry with them the weight they did in former years they avoid the discussion of constitutional questions under the dictation of congress and have real ly no control of such questions in fact our whole form of government has changed we have a written constitution it is true bqt it is al most wholly ignored it has beon altered patched and amended until its consistency is all destroyed and is almost a meaningloss instrument our legislation is not affected by the restrictions of any organic law as mr thaddeus stevens expressed jt our legislation is extra constitutional or outside of the constitution we have ceawed to be governed by the written fundamental law but have adopted the english idea of an un written constitution variable n its character adaptable to events as they occur " the dats op the bpublicafi pahty ' ntjmeered ' ' â€¢'â€¢''' revolution has been wrought by the eepublican party you think i interposed ' ' * -* -* * avholly so he replied the democrats surrendered power in 61 leaving the government intact in its original form whatever changes have occurred have been wrpught since tken and by the party now in power " â– ',''â– â– ' r.',l how long do you think that par ty will retain power 1 asked i think he replied their days are numbered the signs of dissolu tion are everywhere apparent in their ranks the work of disinteg ration is going on if the democrat ic party will be wise'now it can cer tainly soon regain the assendency what course'do you suggest-as advisable for the democrats to pur sue ?" i asked "* ! the winning democratic platform well he'?'replied suggestions on that point might more approprt ately'come froni older soldiers than myself but my own idea is that if . the democrats will adapt their plat form to the'live issues of the day,ac â€¢ cept negro suffrage and other

'â– 'â– < ' i hfrve heanj your own name mentioned in this connection i re - marked < , t ' <.. that is all nonsense he replied i am too young in the party to ei pecti such a preference at this time and moreover massachusetts has nd right to present a candidate when wo have redeemed this stato as the empire state has been redeemed,and â– can name so distinguished and able a man as new york names in mr1 hoffman we may with some show of propriety talk of presenting a candi date at present we mu&t confine ourselves td the work of overthrow ing radicalism in our borders t ~ a liberal bridegroom.â€”a green horn lately took a notion to get mar ried after the ceremony was con eluded the happy husband took a twenty-five cent stamp from bis vest pocket and deliberately walked up to tho parson and handed it to him saying parson keep the whole on'tj you needn't give back any clbango '. a story is told of two yorkshire men who traveled together three dnya in a stage coach wfthout a word ever passing between them on the fourth day ono of them at ledgth ventur â€¢ ed to remark that it was a fine rociij ing and who eaid it vrarn't io plied the,olhor ' % ' v the weekly argus ac==:w::r^hamiiton editor .

* â€¢ : charles f adams jk â€¢ j j q adams . â€¢ - i mounted tho steps of the man sion and entered the open door as cending a single flight of stairs the same historic name met my eye up on the door in front of me i knock ed and was bidden to enter john quincy adamb jr â€¢ in the further corner sat the sole occupant of the apartment apparent ly busily occupied with correspond ence he was a young man at a venture not over thirty^five years of hge rather under the medium hight compactly and well built with a head all greatness his face was darkly browned the result as i af terward learned of a holiday yach jting excursion from which he had just returned . he was unpretend ingly attired in a suit of dark mixed english tweeds he rose from his seat as*l entered and awaited my advance i approached him saying : i called to see'mr adams i am mr adams he replied with an air of quiet dignity which mr adams have i the honor of addressing i am john quincy adams he replied in a few words i stated the object of my visit " i am sent here mr adams by the editor of the new york sun for the purpose of learning truly yodr views upon the present political sit uation of thb country and of laying them before the readers of the sun mr adams smiled and asked us to bo seated then he wrote a half dozen lines upon a sheet of foolscap laid a ruler upon the paper and tore the writing from the main sheet â€” eapidly scratching a direction upon the envelope he placed the manu script therein and,planted a postage stamp upon ihe upper corner with the palm of his hand he touched a small silver handbell and a servant entered see that this goes in the after noon'mail said he handing the ser vant the letter now shyl am at your service he continued turning to me i am never more at eaae than when in the so ity of a journal ist and always ready to express my views upon political subjects without reserve the gathering storm in mass i observe paid i that the democrats have issued a call for a state convention in massachusetts yes sir he replied the con vention ia to meet next month is not that unusually early i asked yes sir much earlier than our conventions heretofore beon hold ' why was it called so early ?'.' i asked Â« well our people thought it best to get into the canvass early and have ample time to enlighten tho on the issues involved but i suggested isn't it bad generalship to be first in opening a campaign i think so he replied j think we should have waited for the eo publicana to meet and declare them selves then w could havo taken issue with them t,hey are all by tjao ears and will have difficulty in harmonizing among themslves the elements of the domocats might broak them up with wise manago ment now wo have got to make tho^seues ourselves the issues what aro the iscuos involod in tho coming contest v simply local ho said they portain to tibo liquor question and the management of the finances on the liquor the republicans in this state are about equally divided be een prohibitionists and license men and they wjll have a lively fight in their convention over this subject if the prohibitionists get the control of the convention the license men will probably bolt and so too if the license men get the convention the prohibitionists will withdraw and make an independent ticket then you predict i said that there will be three tickets run this fall v there may be said he unless the license t men and the democrats unite what would jbe the effect of such a combination i asked pow tee demockats may sweep the state it would sweep j;he state he re plied the democrats ought have waited for this rupture in the fee publican party and then governed themselves accordingly ' what are the financial issues to which you referred ?" i asked tha republican legislature he replied have been voting away the public monies in all manner of ways they have been giving it freely to railroads and other schemes of jnter nal improvement not demanded by the public good they have literally robbed the state ' treasury and piled taxation on the people until it has become burdensome the democrat ic convention will declare itself un equivocally against the transactions and demand aa honest and economi cal administration of the affairs of the commonwealth in the interests of the whole people can you tell me mr adams in what estimation general grant is held by the republicans of new en gland ?" ' ' w ' a bull in a chi3a shop ~ â– r â€¢â– . * mr adams smiled and replied they are in a terrible fix they are mortified chagrined disguoted with their president and don't know how to help themselves they can't control him nobody can control him and he has go political ability to control himself he is out of his element in the executive ofiice and feels it state matters are a bore to him statesmen and politicians are not congenial companions to him he dislikes their conversation and shuns it thus shutting himself out from the advice and'information a president always needs he pre fers the companionship of " horse jockeys and retired merchants who have plenty of money to spend but who know nothing of public affairs and care lees . the ivepublicah party in new england is an aristocratic party and dislikes the course gen grant is pursuing but they can't help themselves and they feel the mortification all the moro keenly on that account .* how do you account for the sin gular foreign policy of his adminis tration 1 i asked mr fish's fo*reign policy the foregn policy so far as it is developed jae replied i attribute exclusively to the influence and di rection of mr fish it is popularly known i suppose that the president and 11 tho cabinet with the possible exception of the attorney general wero disposed to adopt in our rela tions both with spain and england a very dange_rous and threatening policy mr pieh was firm in his op position to such a course and i think the result will prove the wisdom of policy ho has stamped upon ihe ad ministration there was a time im mediately after their utterance when tho whole country seemed car ried away with mr sumner's views as expressed in his famous speech but calm and deliberate reflection has convinced the moot of us of the falla cy of these views mr fish had the sagacity to early detect the error of them at tho time and tho courage to face public opinion in opposing them i confess that ido not clear ly understand tho policy in detail and especially his singular attitude toward cuba but i have confidence in his emmet abilities as a statesman and teel assured tbat he will manago these delicato affairs so aa to evolve a wiso solution â€¢ do you not think i ouggested that the country sympathizes with the cubans in their struggle for free dom and tbat the influence of our government should be exerted in tbeir behalf '. territorial acquisitions i hardly think he replied that the mass of the people in thia ccun try care anything about that strug gle the people of new england are pot v concerned abont it the west cares nothing about it in new york there is considerable feeling on the supject which is carefully nurs ed and kept alive by interested par ties there are many cubans resid ing in new york and ttfat city has a large and profitable trade with cu ba hence their interest in this struggle but that interest is by no means general throughout the coun try it is true i suppose that the country would like to acquire cuba that acquisitiveness is one of the bane 3 of our people we not only would like cuba but we would like the greater portion of mexico all of canada and perhaps other contigu ous territory it may be too that we i are destined to possess all this continent and more too for all i know " bat i very much question whether so great territorial exten sion will benefit us much the south democratic how the ne gro will vote you took a run through the south last year mr adams/i re marked what was the result of your observations in that direction can the eepublican party retain the control of that section ot the cou'u jtryr "' , .."â– . by no means he replied as fast as the states have restored to them their political privileges and rights they will reassert their inde pendence of this ruling power it is all nonsense to suppose that the la bor of that section will forever sub ject itself to the control of a few ad venturers at present the negroes i are kept in a state of political excite ment tw bemi antagonism to the southern people for partisan pur poses but really the negroes care nothing about politics if left to themselves they would scarcely ever assert their political rights not that i would have them denied those rights or restrained from exercising them but it is not in their nature or disposition to care for them in the cities â€¢ they may and probably will always take an active part in party contests but the mass ot the negroes as is well known are scattered in small colonies on distant plantations and after this unnatural excitements passes away and they are left to themselves politics will be the least of their concerns except once a year when their employers will ask them to the polls to vote then of course they will vote whatever ticket their employers or overseers put into their hands so the political power in that section will very soon lapse into the hands of those who have al ways wielded it and they are now beginning to see this inevitable ten dency hence their readiness to ac cept reconstruction under the pres ent plan they know that while a pet of carpet-baggers are temporarily placed in power it is but a stepping stone to their own restoration and political supremacy the fifteenth amendment what is your opinion of the pros pects of the adoption of the fifteenth amendment to the constitution ?" i asked i think he replied that it will make but little difference whether it is adopted or not it is inconsistent with the former portion of the con stitution and is therefore invalid if declared adopted when the democrat ic party comes into power it will sim ply ignore it would the supreme court pro nounce it invalid because of that in consistency ?" i asked that farce tee bupr3me court our supreme co*urt replied he is a farce it.haa no independence it is under coercion it has forfoited the rocpect duo it as a scporate and coequal branch of the government its judgments do not carry with them the weight they did in former years they avoid the discussion of constitutional questions under the dictation of congress and have real ly no control of such questions in fact our whole form of government has changed we have a written constitution it is true bqt it is al most wholly ignored it has beon altered patched and amended until its consistency is all destroyed and is almost a meaningloss instrument our legislation is not affected by the restrictions of any organic law as mr thaddeus stevens expressed jt our legislation is extra constitutional or outside of the constitution we have ceawed to be governed by the written fundamental law but have adopted the english idea of an un written constitution variable n its character adaptable to events as they occur " the dats op the bpublicafi pahty ' ntjmeered ' ' â€¢'â€¢''' revolution has been wrought by the eepublican party you think i interposed ' ' * -* -* * avholly so he replied the democrats surrendered power in 61 leaving the government intact in its original form whatever changes have occurred have been wrpught since tken and by the party now in power " â– ',''â– â– ' r.',l how long do you think that par ty will retain power 1 asked i think he replied their days are numbered the signs of dissolu tion are everywhere apparent in their ranks the work of disinteg ration is going on if the democrat ic party will be wise'now it can cer tainly soon regain the assendency what course'do you suggest-as advisable for the democrats to pur sue ?" i asked "* ! the winning democratic platform well he'?'replied suggestions on that point might more approprt ately'come froni older soldiers than myself but my own idea is that if . the democrats will adapt their plat form to the'live issues of the day,ac â€¢ cept negro suffrage and other inevit abe results of the late way drop their old bourbon leaders and take up new men not tied to the dead past and its obsolete ideas the path to victory is now open to them , , ~. . gov hoffman to lead the demoq racy : /.'..'â€¢:.' whom would you suggest as a standardbearer in such a campaign i asked ' â€¢ v ' . â€¢ " -. i john t hoffman of new york he replied promptly 'â– Â» . mr hoffman has made a good mark as governor of new york said i Â»â€¢* v i.-j . ' most admirable reolied mr adams he has exceeded tho^an ticipations of his warmest friends and is to-day the strongest if not the most able man in the country ' i see said'l tammany hall has again nominated him v . '>. , i ' yes replied mr adams he has the power of thaif singularly power ful organization at his back with the prestige of success as chief magis trate of the empire state two points that almost insure his election by the party and a successful result new york'can dictate the candidate in ! 1872 and with such a candidate as mr hoffman the democrats are sure of success """ . ' ' t ' t chase odious and adams too young ; will not mr chawbe a candi date for the democratic nomination i asked â€¢ ' mr chase undoubtedly would like the nomination he replied but the south will never consent to his having it ho is odious to the southern democracy,'arid can never pecure their support "*' this i ascer tained to my perfect satisfaction jast year when i was in the south .
